Commit 0050dcf3e848 ("bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.20.0") added a new .bin firmware file to linux-firmware.git tree. This new firmware addresses few important issues and enhancements as mentioned below -
- Support direct invalidation of FP HSI Ver per function ID, required for invalidating FP HSI Ver prior to each VF start, as there is no VF
start
- BRB hardware block parity error detection support for the driver
- Fix the FCOE underrun flow
- Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver
This patch incorporates this new firmware 7.13.20.0 in bnx2x driver.

Hello Greg,
This patch set is mainly meant for net-next.git, can you please tell about the issue more specifically ? Do you mean that I should not have Cced stable here ? is that the problem ?
Please read the link I sent you for how to properly get patches accepted into the stable kernel trees, it should answer this question for you.
thanks,
